  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over time BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

    Marlin Guide Gun, who's got one?

    Hey, that sounds like a great deal. Congrats! Still haven't picked one up, but it's still on the list.

    Some of my sold and present wheels

    Oh. My. God. Three of my all-time favorite cars, and you've owned them all. I officially hate you. ;)

    So what'cha readin'???

    Just finished "I, Sniper" by Stephen Hunter. Before that "Hunger Games" by Suzanne Collins. Getting ready to read the next two books following "Hunger Games" and after that I'll have to go track down some more of the "Bob Lee Swagger" series by Hunter. Good to have some new authors.

    First gun purchase

    Nice choice. Enjoy the new gun.

    Good first pistol to purchase

    LOL, I understand. If all you want to do is punch holes in paper at the range now and then and money is an issue, check out some of your local gun stores for used .22 pistols. Cheap as cheap can get ammunition costs and you should be able to pick something up for a couple hundred dollars...

    A primer on humidification and seasoning

    Thanks for the kind comments, and I'm sorry for the delay in response. You have gotten good answers, so I'm really only adding some side comments. That's the wonderful thing about this place, always so many folks around ready to help. I don't recommend the wiping the inside of the humidor...

    It's freakin' amazing how time flies, is it not?

    Mold on Boli PC's

    You are covered with good answers already. That being said, I've been in your EXACT situation before. Don't know about the vendor, but the same cigars. My vendor was happy to help me, but in hindsight and with more experience I would have just wiped the things off and kept them. No harm in...

    Choice

    Shorts. I like the Boli CJs as well, but if I was making a list of cigars never to be out of, Shorts would be on the list, but Boli CJs wouldn't unless it was a very long list (as Greg noted, Reyes would definitely make the list).

    Layoff

    What was your first rifle?

    AR15...must be 4,5 years ago now? Still tinkering with it. :)

    When do you smoke?

    I chose pretty much all of the afternoon-evening hours. Most of my cigars are smoked in the evening, but during the weekend an early to mid afternoon cigar is not out of the question. Of course this assumes we aren't talking Herfs, in which case you might as well just check all of the options...

    Say a prayer for my dog please

    I'm so sorry to hear this. This kind of thing is never easy. At least you have time to say goodbye properly and can enjoy his company, and he yours, for a bit longer. My thoughts are with you brother. And yeah, I can't read that rainbow bridge poem. It brings back the memory of letting my...

    Say a prayer for my dog please

    Oh man. Hang in their Syd. My thoughts are with you, bro'. On a side note, that's a great picture of some wonderful dogs.

    Parti Shorts cab 2010

    You are correct, young. Send them to me for safe keeping. I'll let you know when they are ready to be sent back. :king: (Can't believe I was the first to post this, lol.)

    Question on cigar etiquette

    This one's tough. Honestly, AS has a good answer above, but it depends on your relationship with whoever you are talking about. My father in law smokes really fast as well. I've made some roundabout comments on it, but really I don't feel comfortable telling him he's "doing it wrong", so I...

    Wives, husbands, partners, and significant others....

    That's a tough one. You'll get all kinds of advice on breath fresheners (or you can search for it, plenty of threads), but I've yet to find anything that will cure the problem. I can brush my teeth 5 times, swill whiskey around in my mouth, spray breath freshener, and 6 hours later I'm still...

    Any Sig Sauer fans up in here?

    P226 two-tone in the safe. Always been a Sig Fan. Wanted a 229 when I went shopping for my first pistol, but the wife wanted something with an actual safety, so we went with the HK USP Compact. Can't say as I've ever regretted that, but I do love Sig products.

    Happy B-Day Smokem94!

    Damn, a little late bro, but hope it was a great day!
